The Ola video sounds very sharp and buzzy

Wasn’t the NATAS Ola’s sig amp?

Hahahah I haven’t seen the video yet but when I first saw this pedal announced yesterday my first thought was “I wonder if it’s just the Chug pedal in a Fortin box?”

Ola briefly details it but sounds it's the core tone of his initial line of sig amps (Randall Satan)

Gear Glut is turning into the Gear Tsunami. I definitely underestimated it.

Y’all can call me a pole’smoker
, I got one & the Fuzz.
I have to say.. the Grind plus
a choice’ Revision F Dual Rec, channel 2
red mode, V-30’s,
Les Paul Custom w/SD Black Winter’s is an unshakeably bad beyond the bone rhythm sound
That crushing combo & the MK IV channel 3 are gold standards in high gain champions with that supernormal stimuli chunk in the bottom-end punch..
I’ll keep y’all up to speed with my findings

Mines out for delivery
Delivery…like the quality delivery from
the tail-end of the GNARLY movie “Seven”??
After the pedal arrives,
-I’m rollin’ a MASSIVE Tom-Tom & off I go fellas!!
I’ll report back when the smoke clears(no pun)
LMFAO

This pedal kicks all kinds a’ ass.
I’ve only ran the pedal straight into my amp.
The amp is a late 70’s JMP with a loop
with a OS Zilla 4X12 w/Heritage 20 watt Greenbacks.
Tightened it up like a dolphins butthole..
-Watertight.

Right outta’ the cannon, going straight in-
You cannot dial the pedal like you’ve dialed your amp.
The pedal has the searing mid/high thing so stop
with the nonsensical eq’ing.

Here’s my settings which I suggest other ‘heads start at:

Bass: Dimed-this control is the first enterway , so bring all of the signal & adjust accordingly.
Mid: 8:15 to 8:30-adjust in conjunction with slight EQ tweaks.
High: 8:15 to 9- adjust like you did with the Middle control.
Girth Brooks: 11:15-12ish
Grind: 11 to 12ish
I also leave these two mini-adjusters at zero for the more classic “Alright Now” flavor of the vibe
with different eq’ing on the amp and the amps
( push-pull “Smooth” control).pulled.
Gain: 1:30 to 2pm.
Mid Shift switch :to the left.
The Kill or be killed switch has plenty of headroom & controllable overtones with these settings also.
A lifetime of bliss lead guitar sound & feel type shit
Or for that ‘tail-end of the song’
super heavy outro rhythm section.

I haven’t ‘back door maned it’ yet.
I bet this pedal is mindblowing in many high gain amps effects loops coming out the back.

The secret handshake is you’ve gotta’ have more of your signal having the inherent qualities of your amp then the pedal.
Bring in the hot mess & simmer that shit down.
With these settings I discovered & posted,
- you still have your amplifiers baseline tone & settings for when you return from the pedal being engaged
I saw a YT of a dude boosting an Uberschall with the pedal going straight in.
Hey you, why don’t you try these settings and lay off pilling the mids on top of the mids and the treble standing on the treble?
Like he intentionally making it sound like a midrange massacre.

Worth the coin?
Is f’n anything worth a shit that’s
on the cheats’ anymore?
It seems a bit chinced in the features department but I gotta say, there’s a lot of useful bad ass tones in the few features it has.
I haven’t even ran it up the butt yet
.

I think I'd rather have the Ceres or Vesta for that kind of scratch.
